Some interactive activities such as self introduction and networking were held. Three prizes (1st, 2nd & 3rd) were given for each category during the competition. Prizes were given to the kids and youths who drew the best Gambian flag. Prizes were also given to the youths who made the most networking and was able to name the most names among their peers. The kids had fun and made some new friends during the event. If your kids missed the event, please bring them next year.

We gave out more approximately 120 book bags and stationaries such as books, pencils, erasers, note pads, rulers, sharpness and others things to the kids. Food and drinks were served to all those who attended. The kids were engaged in mini competitive activates such as sports, jump ropes, pop quizzes in order to get them physically and mentally prepared for the new academic year.
